This is so funny, as an (organic) chemist I always thought the one thing med students are good at is brute force memorization. Organic chemistry at the undergrad level should be a relaxing experience compared to memorizing all 200+ bones and 600 + muscles and whatnot there is in anatomy.
On a funny note, my dad always ranted about the professor who tossed him out of his DDS defense (he was an MD already at the time) for being unable to answer an organic chemistry question "that every undergrad should know".
You mean like old fashioned EQ, where one death even with a good rez wiped your experience gain of a 4 h session? Not to mentioning the 2 h corpse run without gear.
How does that get around the WoW typical uber-twink phenomenon, where players intentionally stay at the top level of the tier, accumulating outrageous gear at fantasy prices with their mains, and gank every normal player in the area?
It's not only a customer preference that dictates jet engines, it's the achievable speed. A hypothetical turboprop airliner is 25 - 50% slower than a comparable jet - adding 33 - 100% in crew time and corresponding cost. So it also gives you a captive customer for so much longer, with today's business model so much more time to sell him additional water and peanuts.
Sorry, the lawyers will shut that down. With the "monitor-centric" technologies, your immersion is limited and you still are aware of your position in the room (most likely your seat). If you make perfect LCD-goggles, people will start to fall over because they lose their spacial orientation, with the "unsafe product" lawsuits to follow.
While being haunted by the MIAA might be annoying and/or costly, it can get really serious if someone gets into child porn using your IP. Since "attempted download" is enough to get you criminally prosecuted, and the FBI is using honeypots to draw people in, your open WAP IP address can become a serious source of pain. Even worse if you used some rudimentary but inefficient protection like WEP and you then try to explain "that you must have been hacked". What coincidentally is the reason I use wired networking...
even worse, it's an 8000 word service agreement "referencing" an online-only guidebook. And it still has clauses in it that e. g. CA courts have found unenforceable, but if your local courts haven't done so you're still stuck with them.
two words - quality control
To do an accepted journal, you need to have a peer review system. To have a peer review system, you need editor(s) who can recruit volunteers to do the peer review, who read (at least the abstract) of every paper submitted, assign the reviewers, collect the reviewers comments, send them back, get reply, second round of reviews, pass it on to web master who uploads etc. In the classic world, this is all done for free since every academic knows that's the way things work, a year or two of editor belongs on your resume etc. Your open journal (free as in beer) is only going to be accepted if it follows this procedure, not if it's free as in speech. If you make it free as in speech you get arXiv, a great source of new stuff, but not peer reviewed, and filled with a lot of "controversial" research. But it's free as in both beer and speech.
Sorry, but Bisphenol A is NOT a ppm level anti-oxidant - it's the main chemical building block in both epoxy-resins and polycarbonates. The problem is that no polymerization reaction proceeds to 100%, so you will always have unbound BPA in any "plastic" of these types. And yes, IAAPC
In regards to the article, it states that 90% of the population showed BPA in their bodies, and that the top 25% BPA correlated with increased disease. Since the BPA accumulates in fat tissue, this might also correlate with "the fattest 25% of the population have an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes". What no one will dispute.
Could you get around this by "compiling" the game for individual PUs? Looking at most games, the.exe is relatively small, with lots and lots of level/zone/equipment/sound files. The later should be independent of the PU, and only a small subset would need to be PU specific. I'm aware that "compiling" is the wrong word here, since they won't distribute source code without a breakthrough in DRM technology. But it could be as simple as buying a game, and on install getting a PU specific file either from disc, or for newer iterations from a download server.
Sorry to disappoint you there, but this will do nothing for our trade deficit. Those are build at Ford (Germany) afaik.
As for the particulate idea and diesels, the time of passenger car diesels having bad particulate emissions is long past. But since CA can't do anything about trucks and diesel emissions (due to federal regulations) they decided that "every little bit helps" and hit out on car diesels, preferring double the CO2 to the particulate.
well, there are those of us on Comcast that had huge issues with some of the patches when throttling was active. Nothing blows more than finding out that patch was 300 MB, you background loaded 290, and those last 10 MB take 2 h to get from blizzard's server at 32 k since P2P is disabled.
EQ went to an "empty box" expansion system (all that's in there is the code). It means horrible downloads if you have to reinstall.
That's actually exactly what they are doing for micro-reactors. They are not classic mechanical "liquid+heat->steam->liquid+electricity set-up but strait heat->electricity via thermoelectric elements.
No, the place is not radioactive. The place is a radiation hell, but not due to active decay of lunar material but due to solar radiation, especially during strong eruption events. An unlucky stroll on the surface of the moon while it's hit by a high energy particle stream is the equivalent of what the Russian workers got while fixing the Chernobyl reactor.
the inquirer http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/09/01/why-nvidia-chips-defective had a good summary series on what's bad.
In short, it's the connection of the chip to the board. You have minute metal connections providing current and data transport from the physical chip to the rest of the computer. The choice of material for these connection was poor, and so was the choice of glue holding the chip and the substrate together (and ideally protecting the metal connects from undue stress).
The main indicator for a serious flaw was the drastic changes NVIDIA made to their chip mounting design after the flaw was admitted - it was the kind of changes you normally don't do in the middle of a production run, and if you only do them after very careful testing.
Sorry, this is the law suit for duped stock buyers, not duped product buyers. The duped product lawsuit is in room 12.
Past the joke, if it makes it past the warranty period you have little regress as a customer. While it's illegal to say "we're doing great" while knowing your main product line is failing from a security law point of view, unless the failing parts are in a safety critical application (e. g. child car seats) there is no law mandating a recall/replacement/settlement for selling a crappy product.
You can see how serious that article is by checking it's tagging - an article on a security breach at Red Hat and issues with Fedora is tagged with Microsoft and windows.
With the rising price of metals, the Nickel content alone will guarantee that no one will dump these by the side of the road (btw that would also apply to the NiCd kind). The automotive industry traditionally has been very good to reclaim every last bit that has value, even if it's only pennies. And the batteries will probably have in the 10 - 100 dollar worth of raw material in them.
That's why you have so many plea bargains in the US system - if your choice is to plead guilty to one count of making a false statement or risk 4000 counts of perjury, which one do you take?
In addition, while the judges are usually limited in their sentencing by sentencing guidelines, it's their discretion if you serve three months concurrently for all counts, or 1 day consecutively. Which would really hurt for 4000 counts.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they are not out to get you.
I agree with the appraisal of the review, it seems to be skipping all the points made by others, especially the "boring" and "limited replay" parts. And how a/. article gets by not even commenting on the DRM controversy...
That was exactly my point. To get to these estimates (and they are actually having numbers there in excess of 200 years for some parts) you'd need to run some very extensive tests since you have to get a certain number of devices to fail to show you're on some form of normal distribution curve pointing to a max at that age. You shouldn't see any failures in the first 10 years to begin if you're following some bell shape curve unless you have a huge number of test subjects.
So the number is presumable "simulation data" based in some usage pattern. What explains the lack of trust in it by the business people who have to deal with potential claims.
